ST Team
"With the launch of Telecom Innovation Hub, the aspiring young entrepreneurs of the state will get an opportunity to work closely with big companies and create path breaking technologies," said Kerala Industries and IT Minister P.K. Kunhalikutty.
The National Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board (NSTEDB) of the central government's Department of Science and Technology, Technopark and MobME Wireless too have joined hands to set up the hub.
It aims to incubate 1,000 product start-ups over 10 years and start the search for a billion dollar company from a college campus by the turn of this decade under the mentorship of Gopalakrishnan. This is one of the first public-private-partnership (PPP) technology business incubator in the country. Subject to the availability of land, its most likely location would be Kochi.
